Dozens of dollars and hundreds of dollars, in addition to the price, is there really that big a difference? Today Susan will talk to you about this topic, and by the way to help you avoid the pit, after all, drink water this matter, we can not be sloppy!
Your tap water, really clean?
Let's start with a small test: Have you ever tried to connect a cup of tap water at home and let it sit for a night? The next morning look at the bottom of the cup, is not a little white spots, small impurities? Some places have good water quality, there may be nothing, but some places, scale, rust, and even bleach flavor are quite obvious. In fact, the water plant out of the water, in theory, is up to standard, but after the old pipeline, the secondary water supply tank, inevitably a little “surprise”. Therefore, the water purifier has become a standard for many families.
Dozens of dollars of water purifier, can do what?
Dozens of dollars of water purifiers on the market, most of them are ultrafiltration or activated carbon cartridges. Their main function is to filter out large particles of impurities, such as rust, sediment, some residual chlorine and odor. It's easy to use and simple to install, basically you can use it by twisting the faucet.

Boil water with it, the scale will be less, the taste will be better. Tip: If your home water quality is already good, just want to filter impurities, 300 dollars of water purifier is actually enough.
What's so expensive about a several hundred dollar water purifier?
When it comes to hundreds of dollars of water purifier, basically are reverse osmosis (RO) technology of the main field. RO water purifier is the core, is the water molecules can be “pick” again membrane. It can water heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, pesticide residues, and even dissolved solids are filtered out, out of the water is almost pure water. This water purifier usually has a multi-stage cartridge, pre-filtration, activated carbon, RO membrane, after the activated carbon, layer by layer. Water quality testing pen, TDS value can be low to single digits, drink and bottled pure water is almost the same.
Dozens of dollars and hundreds of dollars, in addition to the purification ability and what is the difference?
In addition to the purification ability, expensive water purifiers in the details also put a lot of effort. For example:
-Filter life and replacement reminders: high-end water purifiers will have intelligent reminders, when to change the filter at a glance, save a lot of worry. Cheap water purifier will have to remember, forget to change the filter, the effect will be greatly reduced.
-Water speed and volume: RO water purifier water speed than ultrafiltration slower, but now many brands have done a large throughput, basically to meet the daily water. Cheap water purifier water fast, but the filtration precision is limited.
After-sales service: high-end water purifiers of big brands, after-sales service is more in place, installation, maintenance, core replacement have someone on the door. Cheap water purifier, out of the problem may have to do it yourself.
